welcome to the faery garden!

 hello all! it is my turn to select the theme for the next two week challenge at tag tuesday and i've chosen the theme of "faery gardens."

i hope friends will share tags on the site featuring faeries and their garden playgrounds. make something lovely, spring-feeling, and full of fantasy to brighten our days.

here are two tags to get this started!

the background paper, faery, and sentiment in this first tag both come from gecko galz. the wings and border are items from my stash.

for this second tag the background paper and sentiment are again from gecko galz but the rubber stamp is from 100 proof press, and was a holiday gift i received this year!

i hope all friends will choose to play along!

love to all.

each morning i go out and feed the birds

 it is true, i'm the neighborhood bird lady! this 4x6 piece is for sunday postcard art: branches.

images from mischief circus artists: itKuPiLLi (butterflies); cryztal rain (sketches 2) and holliewood studios (grateful days and enchanted forest).

love to all.

altered tins in the new year

i've finally managed some real sit down crafting time. i've been wanting to make tins as gifts. i got several of them started and finished some too. here are a couple of them. i'm hoping to finish and post more in the coming days.

here are front side and inside views. i use paper/washi tapes for the sides (with additional 2-sided tape to help it stay). the papers on and in these come from several sources, gecko galz, CS designs, itKuPiLLi. outside images on these are mostly from gecko galz. some crowabout studio B also.

love to all.
